The Camino Primitivo

The oldest of all the Ways to Santiago is the “Camino Primitivo”. This was the route taken in the early 9th century by Iberia’s reigning Christian monarch Alfonso II, from his court in Oviedo, to visit the recently discovered Apostle’s tomb in the far Northwestern corner of the Peninsula.

Starting in the stately city of Oviedo, capital of Asturias – Spain’s greenest and most mountainous region, the Camino Primitivo heads west across forested hills, rich pastureland, verdant valleys and high passes on its way to the former Roman city of Lugo (UNESCO World Heritage). It merges with the Camino Frances near Santiago de Compostela.

The natural environment is a major highlight of this Way, as many stretches of the Camino Primitivo cover remote and wild landscapes with relatively few towns and villages, while still offering plenty of interesting artistic-historical sites. The more challenging terrain and relative scarcity of services results in noticeably fewer pilgrims and a sense of authenticity often lacking on the much busier French Way.

Guided Trips

We offer a unique guided trip that combines 2 days of walking on the most beautiful coastal sections of the Camino del Norte before beginning the Camino Primitivo. You’ll experience the best of both worlds – sea and mountains!

Travel with us on this trip in 2024!
